Makes me want to speed run a ban by microsoft
I got IP banned for abusing the report function and using sock puppet accounts. I was really late to the reddit party because I never wanted an account but eventually caved when third party apps were shining. My account had no value to me and only served as a bookmark aggregator. Communities had minimum karma thresholds and I’m not playing those stupid fucking games. How the fuck do I get enough to start participating anywhere if that’s the rule everywhere? After the API thing I heard moderation tools weren’t working and I wanted to make it harder for the mods when things were already difficult enough for them. They stuck around to be duke of shit mountain, didn’t they?
Reporting posts for frivolous reasons was also a faster route to blocking users. Block someone and waste a mod’s time? Sign me up. The API shitshow turned me in to a bad actor over there. Couldn’t do a whole lot on the way out so I did what I could. They broke an app I paid for so I went out swinging.

im permabanned poster redditshitposter58. i first started reading reddit when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “shit posting” and tried to channel it constantly, until my posting process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “amaze balls” and “this” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “bad” style of reddit humor was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “use” reddit to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
